Sonic CD - Metallic Madness act 2, past

Isn't it act 2 where you have to become Mini Sonic?

 

Yes, that is the correct path. If you use debug to get onto the platform the level continues normally.

Its just that the spring doesn't reach. They must have placed it wrong it seems.

 

Yes, it is possible.

There is one place that looks like a dead end (It is in the lower part of the level). But there is a collapsing floor that allows you to continue on with the level.

I hope that's right.

EDIT: It's near where the capsule is in the past.

 

I have tried that for ages - it's not possible, and there is no other way around this, if I remember right.
The ledge on the left is quite a bit lower in the other time zones and it doesn't even need a well placed jump on the spring to reach the other end there.

 

I've been mucking around in there, and I'm starting to think it's impossible. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever really played MMZ2 Past. I keep finding all these cool areas in it I've never seen before. Thanks for making me play it, at least. XD

 

How wierd, there's something that makes the noise of a collapsing floor near the bottom-left dead end... But seemingly does nothing and only happens once. I wonder if it changes something else in the level, Labyrinth-style.

 

I probably missed that, I only went to that area using debug. I could have sworn I completed it though. Well, I'll try later.

 

Where is MS? Never found him in there.

 

It wouldn't surprise me if they just "forgot" to make the path completable, since the game seemed pretty rushed in general. That, or it's an intentional design, in which case, you're not SUPPOSED to be able to get through in the past. Though, you mentioned later paths still being there, so it's hard to say for sure...

Pretty interesting nonetheless. I'll be keeping track of any further developments you guys make. =P

 

Maybe because you killed him in the Zone before?

 

THIS IS HOW YOU BEAT METALLIC MADNESS ZONE 2 PAST VERSION.

In all honesty, I had no idea of this bug. I just decided to start fooling around like I always do and, before you know it, I was inside the wall.

Basically what you do is start up a dash on top of the piston, and not let go until you're on the other side of the wall, using only left and right to maneuver through the air.

 

I didn't know that one. Gotta try this myself when I get round to it.

 

Amazing.... So it can be finished, after all.

 

Now it makes me wonder if they put that glitch there intentionally, and purposely made it so you couldn't use the obvious path. I would say they probably didn't though.

 

I seriously doubt it. Pretty slack that they never made that act completable in the past.

 

Sonic CD had so many levels, and they were on a deadline.

OH HOW IN THE WORD COULD THEY HAVE NOT SPOTTED A SLIGHTLY MISPLACED OBJECT IN A SINGLE TIME ZONE!?

 

I've beaten Metallic Madness Act 2 in the Past, before. It took me several tries and many many months to pull it off, but I was finally able to do it.
